Spiridow DPI Capsule 18mcg Ingredients and Usage

Spiridow DPI Capsules contain Tiotropium Bromide, a long-acting anticholinergic medication. It is clinically utilized for the maintenance treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It is used to help patients breathe more easily and reduce the number of COPD exacerbations. PakMeds provides these capsules for use with a dry powder inhaler to ensure patients have reliable, 24-hour respiratory support.

How Does Spiridow DPI Capsule 18mcg Work?

Tiotropium works by blocking the M3-muscarinic receptors on the smooth muscle cells of the airways. In COPD, these receptors are often over-stimulated, causing the muscles to tighten and the airways to narrow. By blocking these receptors, Spiridow causes the muscles to relax and stay open. Its long duration of action allows for once-daily dosing, providing consistent bronchodilation that improves lung function and decreases the sensation of shortness of breath.

Spiridow DPI Capsule 18mcg Side Effects

Common side effects include dry mouth, which is often mild and transient. Some patients may experience sore throat, cough, or sinus irritation. Less common but important side effects include blurred vision, fast heart rate, or difficulty with urination, especially in older male patients.

List of Warnings:

• Not for use in the treatment of acute breathing emergencies (rescue therapy).
• Use with caution in patients with narrow-angle glaucoma or an enlarged prostate.
• Rinse your mouth after use to minimize the chance of dry mouth or throat irritation.
